Ibn Khaldun father of Sociology and Sciences of History Biography

Ibn Khaldun (1332--1395. A.D.)

Ibn Khaldun is universally recognized as the founder and father of Sociology and Sciences of History. He is best known for his famous 'Muqaddimah' (Prolegomena).

Ibn Khaldun is universally recognized as the founder and father of Sociology and Sciences of History. He is best known for his famous 'Muqaddimah,' (Prolegomena). Abd al-Rahman Ibn Mohammad , generally known as Ibn Khaldun after a remote ancestor, was born in Tunis in 732 A.H. (1332 C.E.) to an upper class family that had migrated from Seville in Muslim Spain. His ancestors were Yemenite Arabs who settled in Spain in the very beginning of Muslim rule in the eighth century.

During his formative years, Ibn Khaldun experienced his family's active participation in the intellectual life of the city, and to a lesser degree, its political life. He was used to frequent visits to his family by the political and intellectual leaders of western Islamic states (i.e., North Africa and Spain), many of whom took refuge there. Ibn Khaldun was educated at Tunis and Fez, and studied the Qur'an, Prophet Muhammad's Traditions and other branches of Islamic studies such as Dialectical theology, Shari’a (Islamic Law of Jurisprudence, according to the Maliki School). He also studied Arabic literature, philosophy, mathematics and astronomy. While still in his teens, he entered the service of the Egyptian ruler Sultan Barquq.

Ibn Khaldun led a very active political life before he finally settled down to write his well-known masterpiece on history. He worked for rulers in Tunis and Fez (in Morocco), Granada (in Muslim Spain) and Biaja (in North Africa). In 1375, Ibn Khaldun crossed over to Muslim Spain (Granada) as a tired and embittered man solely for the reasons of escaping the turmoil in North Africa. Unfortunately, because of his political past, the ruler of Granada expelled him. He then went back to Algeria to spend four years in seclusion in Qalat Ibn Salama, a small village. It was in Qalat he wrote Muqaddimah, the first volume of his world history that won him an immortal place among historians, sociologists and philosophers. The uncertainty of his career continued because of unrest in North Africa. Finally, he settled in Egypt where he spent his last twenty-four years. Here, he lived a life of fame and respect, marked by his appointment as the Chief Malakite Judge. He also lectured at the Al-Azhar University.

Ibn Khaldun had to move from one court to another, sometimes at his own will, but often forced to do so by plotting rivals or despotic rulers. He learnt much from his encounters with rulers, ambassadors, politicians and scholars from North Africa, Muslim Spain, Egypt and other parts of the Muslim world.

Ibn Khaldun is most famous for his book 'Muqaddimah' (Introduction). It is a masterpiece in literature on philosophy of history and sociology. The main theme of this monumental work was to identify psychological, economic, environmental and social facts that contribute to the advancement of human civilization and the currents of history. He analyzed the dynamics of group relationships and showed how group feelings, al-'Asabiyya, produce the ascent of a new civilization and political power. He identified an almost rhythmic repetition of the rise and fall in human civilization, and analyzed factors contributing to it.

Ibn Khaldun's revolutionary views have attracted the attention of Muslim scholars as well as many Western thinkers. In his study of history, Ibn Khaldun was a pioneer in subjecting historical reports to the two basic criteria of reason and social and physical laws. He pointed out the following four essential points in the study and analysis of historical reports: (1) relating events to each other through cause and effect, (2) drawing analogy between past and present, (3) taking into consideration the effect of the environment, and (4) taking into consideration the effect of inherited and economic conditions.

Ibn Khaldun's pioneered the critical study of history. He provided an analytical study of human civilization, its beginning, factors contributing to its development and the causes of decline. Thus, he founded a new science: the science of social development or sociology, as we call it today. Ibn Khaldun writes, "I have written on history a book in which I discussed the causes and effects of the development of states and civilizations, and I followed in arranging the material of the book an unfamiliar method, and I followed in writing it a strange and innovative way." By selecting his particular method of analysis, he created two new sciences: Historiology and Sociology simultaneously.

Ibn Khaldun argued that history is subject to universal laws and states the criterion for historical truth:
"The rule for distinguishing what is true from what is false in history is based on its possibility or impossibility: That is to say, we must examine human society and discriminate between the characteristics which are essential and inherent in its nature and those which are accidental and need not be taken into account, recognizing further those which cannot possibly belong to it. If we do this, we have a rule for separating historical truth from error by means of demonstrative methods that admits of no doubt. It is a genuine touchstone by which historians may verify whatever they relate."

Because of his emphasis on reason and its necessity in judging history and social events, some scholars have claimed that Ibn Khaldun tried to refute conventional religious knowledge and substitute for it reason and rational philosophy. This claim is unfounded. It is known that some schools teach things which are irrational in nature. But this is not true of Islam which has always encouraged observation and thinking, and reminded the nonbelievers for not using their reason and thinking. An example is the Verse 164, Chapter 2 of the Qur'an:

"Behold! In the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of the night and the day; in the sailing of the ships through the ocean for the benefit of mankind; in the rain which God sends down from the skies; and the life which He gives therewith to an earth that is dead; in the beasts of all kinds that he scatters through the earth; in the change of winds and the clouds which they trail like slaves between the sky and the earth; - (here) indeed are signs for people that are wise and think."

Qur'an 2:170:

"When it is said to them: "Follow what God hath revealed." They say, "Nay: We shall follow the ways of our fathers." What! even though their fathers were devoid of wisdom or reason and guidance?"

Ibn Khaldun remarked that the role of religion is in unifying the Arabs and bringing progress and development to their society. He pointed out that injustice, despotism, and tyranny are clear signs of the downfall of the state. Ibn Khaldun points out that metaphysical philosophy has one advantage only, which is to sharpen one's wits. He states that the knowledge of the metaphysical world particularly in matters of belief can only be derived from revelation.

He was a pioneer in education. He remarked that suppression and use of force are enemies to learning, and that they lead to laziness, lying and hypocrisy. He also pointed out to the necessity of good models and practice for the command of good linguistic habits. Ibn Khaldun lived in the beginning period of the decline of Muslim civilization. This experience prompted him to spend most of his efforts on collecting, summarizing and memorization of the body of knowledge left by the ancestors. He vehemently attacked those unhealthy practices that created stagnation and stifling of creativity by Muslim scholars.

Ibn Khaldun emphasized the necessity of subjecting both social and historical phenomena to scientific and objective analysis. He noted that those phenomena were not the outcome of chance, but were controlled by laws of their own, laws that had to be discovered and applied in the study of society, civilization and history. He remarked that historians have committed errors in their study of historical events, due to three major factors: (1) Their ignorance of the natures of civilization and people, (2) their bias and prejudice, and (3) their blind acceptance of reports given by others.

Ibn Khaldun pointed out that true progress and development comes through correct understanding of history, and correct understanding can only be achieved by observing the following three main points. First, a historian should not be in any way prejudiced for or against any one or any idea. Second, he needs to conform and scrutinize the reported information. One should learn all one could about the historians whose reports one hears or reads, and one should check their morals and trustworthiness before accepting their reports. Finally, one should not limit history to the study of political and military news or to news about rulers and states. For history should include the study of all social, religious, and economic conditions.

The Muqaddimah was already recognized as an important work during the lifetime of Ibn Khaldun . His other volumes on world history Kitab al-I'bar deal with the history of Arabs, contemporary Muslim rulers, contemporary European rulers, ancient history of Arabs, Jews, Greeks, Romans, Persians, Islamic History, Egyptian history and North-African history, especially that of Berbers and tribes living in the adjoining areas. The last volume deals largely with the events of his own life and is known as Al-Tasrif. As with his other books, it was also written from an analytical perspective and initiated a new tradition in the art of writing autobiography. He also wrote a book on mathematics which is not extant.

Ibn Khaldun's influence on the subject of history, philosophy of history, sociology, political science and education has remained paramount down to our times. He is also recognized as the leader in the art of autobiography, a renovator in the fields of education and educational psychology and in Arabic writing stylistics. His books have been translated into many languages, both in the East and the West, and have inspired subsequent development of these sciences. Prof. Gum Ploughs and Kolosio consider Muqaddimah as superior in scholarship to Machiavelli's The Prince written a century later, as the former bases the diagnosis more on cultural, sociological, economic and psychological factors.

An abridged and edited version of The Muqaddimah, An Introduction to History, is published by the Princeton University Press, Bollingen Series, Fifth Printing, 1981.

Say,This is my way. I call (People) to Allah with full perception,both I and my followers. Pure is Allah and I am not among those who associate partner with Allah.

Therefore, such Daee (one who invites towards Islam) need to be developed, whose desires should be consistent inknowledge, action, thought, perception, passion, compassion, and the manner of invitation to Islam following the aspirations of prophets, particularly Muhammad ﷺ.Not only should they posses a strong Iman (Faith) and virtuous deeds, but their inner inspirations should be on the pattern of prophets. They should cherish a fervent love of Allah and His fear, and a state of intimacy with Him. In character and habits, they should adhere to the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ. Their love or hatred should be for the: sake of Allah. The motivating factor behind their inviting to Islam should be a deep compassion and mercy and kindness for all mankind. The often repeated Devine principle for prophets. "Our reward is solely with Allah," should be their hallmark. They should have no other objective except the pleasure of Allah. May Allah help us (Ameen)

Maulana Yusuf Rahimullah said…..

To achieve strong connection with Allah and to gain his divine help, the only means are the way of Muhammadﷺ.If the following the prophet will be in all sphere of our life then Allah will make us successful irrespective of the situation & worldly means. (Biography page 767)

One of the greatest Islamic scholar of last century Faisal Award Winner Fazilatus SheikhSyed Abul Hasan Ali Nadvi Rahimullah said...........

The Tabligh movement is ideally suited to meet the demand of time and repel the mounting challenge ofdisbelieve and irreligiousness. The present day materialists and Baatil movements make a direct appeal to the common masses and sedulously sow the seed of doubts among them.Ideological debates religious literature and plans and activities that are confined to the elite and do not involve the common man cannot arrest the progress of apostasy and materialism. Only a religious movement which begins at their grassroot and goes straight to the labourers cottage and farmer field and ignores no section of the society can provide an effective answer to the menace of irreligiousness. (Book Life and Mission of Maulana Ilyas Page no 204)

It (Tabligh Movement) is the start of an era of purely religious effort.Those people who will take part and move forward with courage are certainely the distinguished one.The only thing is at stake is the proper utilisation of time and capabilities given by Allah Tabarak o Taala and the reward is so precious that is even beneficial at the cost of life...........

This description is not only to read and close it, Rather it is a live Dawah..............(30th March 1946)

"There are four ways of attaining self reformation and by good chance, they all happen to be found in the tablighi jama'at. It includes sitting in the company of the pious, it includes dzikr and fikr, it includes brotherhood for the pleasure of Allah, it includes taking lessons from enemies and also taking account of oneself. The tablighi jama'at is a conglomeration of the four. For an average person there can be no way better than this for attaining self-reformation.

THE ROLE AND STATUS OF FAZAIL-E-A’MAL IN TABLEEGH JAMA’AT

1.Fazail e Amaal is collection of Nine books in two volume on virtues/Fazail of different acts like Salat, Quran, Rememberance of Allah, Dawah o Tabligh, Fasting and Ramzan, Haj and Umrah, Charity and Huququl Ibad (Personal Social relation and Obligations).Two other books are Stories of Sahaba and Present Degeneration of Muslims and its Remeady.

2.The purpose of Fazail e Amaal to encourage muslim to be connected with Quranic Life.Fazail/virtues of acts/worship strengthen belief on the Rewards of Allah e.g. If I pray Salat with Jamaat/congregation Allah will give reward 27 times more, strong belief on the promises of Allah is the key for moving towards Quranic commands and Islamic way of life.

3.In Fazail e Amaal On each Topic Quranic Ayats Ahadith has been put together with great efforts by Sheikhul Hadith(Person who teaches Bukhari Shareef) Maulana Muhammad Zakariyya(Rah), one of the most distinguished scholar of Islamic World of Last century.

4.In covering different topics Hadhrat sheikh has mentioned Hadith touching the collateral topics also. For example if Hadith is about Salat in which some mention about Child Family Tarbiat (Care) has been done. Then sheikh in commentary will give the related Ahadith about Family Care also. This has made the book very useful and effective for encouraging towards Quranic Life.The millions of people benefiting from, is a reflection of Allah acceptance for the book and writer.

3.Without any doubt Fazail e Amaal has benefited hundreds of millions all over the world not only giving Ilm but connecting them with Quranic Life. Islam is a way of Life and not a philosophy and Practical Islamic life is very important for spreading Islam.

5.Although Sheikhul hadith Maulana Zakaria has written Fazail e Amaal in accordance with the principles laid down by Great Imams/Scholars on issues like use of weak Ahadith for encouragement, etc.........Even Imam Bukhari R.A.has used weak Ahadith in his book Al Adabul mufrad as it was a book of Fazail, Same case with Ibne Taimmiya R.A. also..................

Sheikh Zakaria himself was an scholar of Bukhari, taught Bukhari Shareef for nearly 20 years in India and Madeena, he even has done scholary work on it ..........................................some muslim groups has some reservation on certain aspect like weak Ahadith etc. These issues are broad in ummat and not only related with book Fazail e Amaal and almost all Muhaddith/Imam among Salafus Salehin has agreed that weak Ahadith are permissible in Virtues/targeeb/Encouragement. Still...........if someone is not Comfortable with Fazail e Amaal.He may go in Jamaat/take part in the Dawah effort of Tablighi Jamaat without using Fazaile Amaal.They may use other books as below mentioned...........

................

1.Some Groups/Brothers make a Propaganda and claim that Fazail E Amaal is only book read in Tablighi Jamaat and Ijtema.

2.First of all in Weekly Ijtema Fazail e Amaal is not read at all. In weekly Ijtema Ahadith and life of prophet and Sahaba (collected in book Hayatus Sahaba) is Read Only.

3.For Individual Taleem You can chose Tafseer/Hadith/any Islamic Book of Your choice.

4.Out of this Muntakhab Ahadith (Collection of Quranic Ayats and Authentic Ahadith and no Commentry/Stories) is very Popular.So they may use Muntakhab Ahadith.

1.It is a total misconception/allegation that Fazail-e-A’mal is the guide book of Tableegh Jama’at.

2.The concept of Tableegh Jama’at was not derived from this book, nor is the jama’at dependant on this book to do the work of tableegh.

3.They thought it necessary to stipulate such a book that would encourage people towards good deeds/Virtues of Emaan and Amaal e Saliha,thats why Fazail e Amaal book.

4However, it is not compulsory upon each an every person who joins this effort to read Fazail e Amaal.5.Many Places in India and allover the world are using Muntakhib Ahadith(collection of Quranic Ayah and Ahadith on Iman, Salat, Ilm O Zikr, Ikram E Muslim, Ikhlas E niyah,Dawat E Ilallah,and Tark e Layani. ) and Hayatus Sahaba.

6.Many of the Arabs who are doing this effort chose to read Riyadu-s-Saliheen instead, and they are carrying on with the work of Dawat-o-Tabligh.

7. Therefore, it is totally incorrect to regard this book as the guide book of Tableegh Jama’at.

Tabligh door is open 24X7.

Come and understand it before making Allegation and confusing Muslims.

A Renowed Islamic Scholar & Authority on contemporary Islamic issues,Member of All India Muslim Personal Law Board express his pain on the affairs of muslim Ummah in these words..........."The………….. (Country name) visit has again reminded me that Muslims are not concerned about actual issues.

Maslaki ikhtalafat (Fiqh Dispute e.g. placing hand in salat, Ameen loud or silent etc.)organizational and group affiliations has made them unaware from actual issues and dangers that ummah is facing.(He is mentioning actual issues and dangers later in the article) The Ulema are the real leader of ummat but their intellect is becoming outsourced on small issues. Their too much involvements(debates etc) in trivial issues has also damaged their credibility among general muslims and has increased the differences...This situation is prevailing throughout the Muslim world……….In difference of opinion there is no point of stressing on a particular position..But alas this has become an ego issue.…There are many real issues/Challenges to work 1.Urgent need of Islamic conditioning of youth/future generation (to make all muslims as practicing muslim following commands of Allah&Path of Muhammad SallallahuAlaihiwasallam) 2.Removing misconceptions against Islam,3.Inviting fellow Humankind to our creator Almighty Allah to save all from fire of Hell.(ALL HUMANS ARE OUR REAL BROTHER AND SISTERS AS ALL ARE SON AND DAUGHTER OF ADAM ALAIHISSALAM) For Further detail click here

Ummat Pana/Ummat Hood is a word that is unknown now a days. Majority of Muslims has no concern about deen. At some places (ap70-80 %) are not offering even Salat. Some 10% has some concern about revival of deen. This 10% is our treasure.There is nothing wrong in Making organisation /jamaat for common cause rather good but groupism is worst thing.Groupism is a cancer.But very sorry to say that many of this 10% has become deep ridden in Groupism/bashing buiseness of other organisation. They are nurtured in a way thinking that if you blamed/criticising others you are doing a great work of Islam.

Brother Sister always keep Islam first. This is direct command of quran and Hadith All the well wisher of Ummat e.g Allama Iqbal in Jawab e Shikwa,Muft Shafi Usmani in book Ummat e Wahdat,Maulana Mahmoodul Hasan after coming from Malta, Maulana Ilyas in his Malfoozat,Maulana Yusuf in Ummat Hood (the last talk of his life), Maulana Abul hasan Ali Nadvi in many books,Mufti Ibraheem Desai and Mufti Taqi Usmani...... in many fatawa and Talk,Maulana Saad of Markaz Nizamuddin in book Priceless Advice In the word of Dr. Israr Ahmad (firqa bandi ek ghun hai jo ummat andar se khae ja raha hai) Groupism is a disease that is eating ummat strenth from within.and list is countless. Brother/sister please stop from groupism.

WHAT IS HAPPENING ON INTERNET

On internet Muslim groups /internet video scholars are deeply ridden with criticism/allegation/leg pulling of each other instead of much needed positive work in different field of Islam.Very few people are concerned that Many Muslims (app 70-80% at some places) are not offering even five time prayers the pillar of Islam. But Many scholars are busy proving whether ameen loud or silent is superior that too on You tube and Facebook.Although authentic Ahadith prove both as Sunnah.Alas is this Priority of Muslim Ummah.......Everyone is suffering because of this groupism/leg pulling.The victim and offenders keeps on changing with time.Person remain sameTake a Live EXAMPLE.Many TV/you tube scholars incompetently got involved in issues of Islamic Jurisprudence like Position of Hand in Prayer etc. without knowing all the Ahadith and authenticity discussion on Ahadith and consequently TV scholars presents one Hadith and concealed other Ahadith.These issues irritated great Majority of Islamic Scholars and of 97 % of Muslims who are following one of the four Imams in Jurisprudence issues May Allah pardon all of us .The problem of ummat is that they dont know the ethics of disagreement. This book may help them click here to read.

The big leaders of different groups (Actual greats not video/tv/you tube scholars) are fed up with this ,consider themselves as victim.They want to stop it but Iblees has made it a viscous cycle. An immediate effort is required to decrease it. It has been suggested some way out to do work at ground to solve this problem.....you are Requested to give valuable suggestion for this......click for detail...

This is not the official blog of Tablighi Jamaat. Tableeghi Jamaat has a written policy for criticism and allegations.

Maulana Inamul Hasan (R.A.)(died 1995) the former Amir of Tableeghi Jamaat has said."It is better that in case the objections and criticism if they are correct, rectify them .{No one is free from shortcomings} Whereas if they are wrong ,have patience (leave the matter to Allah)."

Tablighi Jamaat is doing the basic, crucial important ground work of bringing people towards the way of Almighty. They are connecting people to their lord, and millions are getting benef Alhamdulillah. Great Majority of Muslims all over the world actively/passively co-operating with it. But few persons/Organizations criticize it because of group mentality with baseless allegations and confuse the general Public. This is not loss of tablighi jamaat as in Tabligh their is no post/position/Money matters,so no loss or gain.But it is loss of Islamic Dawah, loss of Muslim Ummah and loss of humanity at large.We ……For moreLink 2
